News Points

Infor PLM Discrete works with Infor SyteLine to add Infor functionality from concept to order fulfillment, enabling time savings through easier access to consolidated information and reduced manual data entry requirements for DeltaValve employees.

Data flow between DeltaValve's Infor ERP and PLM applications also helps ensure a smoother transition from research and development to production for new products. Users view processes in a single, unified system, allowing them to more quickly make improvements or changes, helping to increase efficiency and speed time to market.

PLM Discrete provides user-friendly workflows and task lists with detailed instructions and automatic reminders to ensure that employees are aware of pending projects and approvals. DeltaValve managers can also drill down into workflow data to make better decisions regarding internal processes and resource allocation.

"Our previous PLM system was not linked to our ERP system, which was a roadblock to data sharing and information flow, causing inefficiency and disruption to operations," said Steven Seals, planning and procurement, DeltaValve. "By selecting Infor PLM Discrete, DeltaValve benefits from connectivity between our PLM and ERP applications, creating a unified solution which enables employees to enter data into one system and have it automatically stored in the other, facilitating faster, more accurate information sharing within our business."
